Nurse practitioners from UW–Milwaukee, Marquette University, Children’s Wisconsin, and UW–Madison gathered at the Wisconsin Capitol through the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort to advocate for fi***rm laws that protect children and promote public health.

Among them was UWM Clinical Assistant Professor Allison Grady, bringing her clinical perspective to conversations about preventing fi***rm injuries, supporting families, and keeping communities safe.
